Why Kimberly or Hal Vaughan chose Mississippi

We have owned a summer home on Belle Fontaine Beach since 1961 and lived here permanently since 1980. We have two homes side by side and after our youngest daughter left for Ole Miss we decided to live in the smaller home. We live next door to rental in the small Pink House and renting our Big Green Mini Mansion. We are available for any questions or problems and happy to help with needs such as activities, directions, restaurants etc.

Otherwise we RESPECT YOUR TOTAL PRIVACY!

If you have children, just let us know and we'll make sure our crab traps are baited and hopefully full of crabs! Remember to add chicken to your grocery list to keep traps baited and crabs fed. Interested in crabbing or fishing from our pier? Let us know and we'll do our best to show you how to catch crabs, speck, flounder and red fish! Night time is the best time to fish. Crabbing during the day.

Best beach house in Ocean Springs!

We've stayed here several times and the house is always immaculate and inviting. I honestly don't know how they keep it so clean. It never seems to be aging. It feels like we are coming home each time we go. Kim and Hal and their friendly neighbors and pets feel like family at this point. All the amenities like the pier, pool and hot tub are awesome and make our vacations complete. I recommend highly!

Wow! What a fantastic family escape!!!

From the moment we pulled up to the beautiful and fresh teal colored home to the moment we left past the dolphin mailbox we had the most amazing time. Kimberly and Hal were kind and gracious hosts, so hospitable and fun to talk to. We loved soaking in the sun on the pool deck and spending our evenings in the hot tub. The kids LOVED swimming in the pool with the fountain but their favorite part was crabbing right off the dock! We enjoyed nearby Ocean Springs as well as a quick trip to the beaches and casinos of Biloxi. The views from inside and outside were amazing plus the amenities are top notch.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dolphindale and the Ocean Springs area. Highly recommended!!!

Stay at dolphindale

Our stay at dolphindale was the best vacation we ever had. Kimberlyn and Hal are great. You have to vacation at dolphindale, you will love it. The home is beautiful. Irene,Janet,Samara,&Tai Farmington Hills, Mi

Exceeded Our Expectations

We booked a last minute vacation for spring break crossing our fingers that it would give our family of five a nice getaway. Never being to Mississippi and having teens we were a little nervous but this vacation exceeded all expectations. The owners Kim and Hal were fantastic and actually live in the house diagonally from the rental. They filled us in on the little fun things to do on property and had lots of local connections off property. Things we would never have known otherwise. With that said, they gave us our privacy to enjoy our vacation as a family. And the house...it was immaculate, having everything you would need or think you would need. It really was one of our best most memorable vacations. Already thinking about going back next year.

Perfect! Gorgeous home with everything needed for a perfect family vacation

The property is in excellent condition. The owners deliver excellent customer service and we're very committed to us having a wonderful experience. The neighborhood was inviting, safe, and quiet. Loved all aspects of our stay

Best vacation home ever!

Where do I even begin. From the very first email exchange I had with Kimberly and Hal they were so helpful and made everything easy and breezy. Upon arrival we were in awe of how absolutely beautiful everything is - inside and out. The pictures are good, but still don't do the home justice. From anywhere in the house just turn your head and you've got a great view of the water. We brought our pug along and Hal and Kim were so gracious to tend to him while we were away from the home for long periods of time. Biloxi casinos are an easy 20 minutes away and lots of cool places in Ocean Springs. The Shed is a must see place - great food and awesome atmosphere. We enjoyed the pool most every day as well as the hot tub. Looking up at the moon and stars from the hot tub was heavenly. I could go on and on but the bottom line is - this is home is amazing and Hal and Kim were the icing on the delicious cake! Don't miss out on this rental and more importantly - don't miss out on meeting Hal and Kim! Thank you guys so much for our awesome honeymoon! We'll be back just as soon as we can!

We are just on the outskirts of Biloxi's Big Casino Lights, Hard Rock Casino, Beau Rivage Casino, The Imperial Palace Casino, Margaritaville Casino, Isle of Capri Casino, our favorites are Hard Rock and Imperial Palace. Restaurants in Ocean Springs, Leo's Pizza offers outside and inside dining, Wasabi great Sushi, Great Steaks at Cheryls Steakhouse and is BYOB, 32 Restaurant and Tien are both wonderful but expensive at the Imperial Palace.

Just minutes away find quaint Downtown Ocean Springs with shopping along Washington and Government Avenues and many restaurants to choose from.
